Getting to know Samantha Laurie
My name is Samantha Laurie, and I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist as well as a certified PCIT (Parent-Child Interaction Therapy) provider. I have been in practice for 10 years and have experience with a wide variety of populations and mental health issues. Most of my experience is with youth of all ages and their families, but I also work with adult individuals and couples. My main goal and philosophy are to be a compassionate support person who is family-centered and strength-based, implementing helpful interventions to validate and support you through your individualized challenges and help you reach your future goals.
My approach is integrative, using many different methods including Psychodynamic Therapy, Strength-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Interpersonal Therapy, Supportive Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Narrative Therapy.
I work with people of all ages and from all walks of life. However, most of my experience is with anxiety and depression. I also spent many years working at a non-profit with youth facing behavioral issues and anxiety, which is the population I have worked with most.
My communication style is relaxed, comfortable, and client-centered so clients feel at ease and safe to be vulnerable.
My journey to mental healthcare began with experiencing family challenges, conflict, and anxiety as a child. I have always been an empath-compassionate, caring, a good listener, and driven by a desire to help others.
My goals for you are collaborative. We discuss thoroughly the thoughts, feelings, and behaviors you would like to work on, the frequency of these experiences, and regularly check in on progress so we can adjust as needed.
Our first session will be an opportunity to discuss consent for services, confidentiality, get to know one another, build rapport, and explore your strengths, concerns, and goals for counseling. I will also invite you to ask me any questions you may have.
